Back by huge popular demand, Hot Fingers welcome you to an eclectic mix of vintage acoustic string music. On this journey they visit the hot jazz of 1920's New York and sophisticated 1930's Swing, including references to the king of gypsy swing, Django Reinhardt. This is mixed with vocals of song-writing greats such as Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, as well as novelty features from the likes of Cliff 'Ukulele Ike' Edwards.

Tom 'Spats' Langham has crooned his way around the world with bands such as the 'Pasadena Roof Orchestra' and has several times sold out venues on the Artsreach circuit.

Although just a trio, the band can be seen removing three guitars, a double bass, a sousaphone, a banjo, a mandolin, two ukuleles, a clarinet, a tuba, and a pair of castanets from the band van. Expect an evening of fabulous entertainment!
